David Hasselhoff has been turned into a video game action man. The star has been given a virtual identity for Pain Movie Lot, a new PlayStation 3 game, which will hit stores in November.

Players will be able to hurt The Hoff, as he has dubbed himself, and win points by making the actor endure painful pratfalls.

Hasselhoff, who admits he's not much of a gamer himself, is so thrilled with his new starring role he has recorded a new version of Culture Club's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me," which will be available as a download when the game hits stores.

He tells People.com, "When they said they had the rights to the song, that really sold me."
